Going South for the Winter

There was an outdoor cat in New York who would come home every night and sleep inside. Except, one October, the cat never came home. The owners thought it was dead.

In the spring it returned and looked great! He was healthy, shiny and well fed. This happened three times- three years in a row.

Finally, the owners were carrying the cat outside to go to the vet. An elderly couple came walking by and said "there's our cat!" The real cat owners said, "no. This is our cat, not yours. We've had him for 12 years now". "Oh". said the elderly couple. " We didn't know he was owned by anyone and coudn't stand to think of him roughing it through the severe winters so we took him with us to Florida every winter!".
